The SAP HANA Cloud Platform is an open standards-based, in-memory cloud platform designed for today’s increasingly networked, mobile, social and data-driven world. Developers can quickly build impactful, highly scalable applications leveraging the massive speed and scale of SAP HANA.
This Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering allows you to focus on developing your software and use an enterprise-ready pre-installed environment in the SAP cloud to deploy and run your applications in a secure and reliable way.
This course will introduce you to the SAP HANA Cloud Platform and show you how to take advantage of the various services it provides. Since the initial course in Q4, 2013, the developer experience on the platform has been simplified. This course has been updated to include these modifications. Ideally, you should have basic skills in Java programming as well as basic skills in using the Eclipse development environment.
The registration, learning content, and the final exam are free of charge. You will be able to get some practical experience of the platform by using a free developer trial account.
